What a bunch of crap! Anyone remember the last Georgia QB they said that about? Quincy Carter! Thank god that crack head switched his commitment. When has ANY QB ever been better at the NFL Level than they were at the College Level?
My memory says NEVER!
In addition to Tom Brady, Brad Johnson was a backup QB at FSU and has since been to 2 Pro Bowls and led Tampa Bay to a Super Bowl win. Didn't Tom Brady take down Bama in the Orange Bowl(?) while at Mich.?
In the 1999 season, Brady led Michigan to an overtime win in the Orange Bowl over Alabama, throwing for 369 yards and four touchdowns.
That game against Bama is very SIMILAR to one of his games that he has had since joining the Pats, just because someone isn't drafted very high doesn't mean they weren't very good in College.
The way that Matt Cassell has played is showing that the NE Team is a huge part of Brady's success also.
Brad Johnson was a game "manager" he has never really played at a very high level in the NFL, not to the extent that his name would roll off of a fans lips when asked about QBs back during Brad's heyday.
Either way it is very rare.
Well obviously the player had to be good to be drafted at all, but your statement was that when has a QB been better in NFL than in college. I would say Brady setting the NFL records for passing TD and yds in a season, as well as leading a team to 4 superbowls, 3 of them championships is better than getting an Orange bowl win. That's just me.
My only point was that he was putting up 369 yds. and 4 TDs against an Alabama Team that made the Orange Bowl, and led them to a victory in OT, that is exactly the same kind of Stat-Line and the same kind of CLUTCH performances that he has done in the NFL. Brady didn't throw for 48% and 130 yds. per game and then "blossom" into what he is today, he was a big timer in his own right at UM.
Michigan probably didn't have the necessary D to win 3 MNCs when Brady was there, but he was definitely clutch and played big in big games, give him a Randy Moss at UM and maybe he puts up even better stats.
Winning Super Bowls involves having the right team AROUND YOU in addition to have some talent, John Elway was a much more dynamic QB when his TEAMS were getting BLOWN OUT in Super Bowls, but he was a World Champ when Terrell Davis and his 1900+ yds. rushing appeared in Denver.
